We also celebrate our students who finished among the Top 20 Athletes of the Meet, including Alysia and Nathan, who both achieved outstanding 2nd place finishes.
In an exceptionally close competition, with just 30 points separating first and fourth place overall, Overnewton finished a remarkable fourth - only five points behind third place. This result reflects the continued growth and strength of our Athletics program.
Congratulations to every student who competed, as well as our Athletics Captains Year 12 students Carlo, Alan and Alyssa, and staff members Mr Riley Caines and Ms Carolyn Sadler for their leadership and support.
We are incredibly proud of what our students achieved and excited for what lies ahead in 2027!
We acknowledge and pay respect to the Marin Balluk people of the Kulin Nation, the Traditional Custodians of the Land on which Overnewton Anglican Community College stands. We respect the knowledge that will be forever embedded within the Aboriginal Custodianship of Country and remember the loss of cultures, languages and Lands they have endured. Like the Marin Balluk people, we at Overnewton want to respect the Land, the cultures and the heritages, and learn from those who have come before us in the passing on of knowledge and the teaching of life skills, as well as continue with wise stewardship of our buildings and grounds. We honour their custodianship of this Land and offer them our deep respect.
